Capo 2 fret

[Intro]
Am  F
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Four years old with my 
            F
back to the door
Am
All I could hear 
               F
was the family war
     Am
Your selfish hands
G                F
always expecting more
Am
Am I your child or
G               F
just a charity award?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am
You have a hollowed out heart
         F
But it’s heavy in your chest
  Dm
I try so hard to fight it
C
But it’s hopeless
Am      F       Dm
hopeless You’re hopeless
 
[Chorus]
F          Am
Oh father  please father
C
I’d love to leave you alone
F
but I can’t let you go
F          Am
Oh father  please father
C                F
Put the bottle down for
              Am         C   F
the love of a daughter
 
[Verse 2]
          Am
It’s been 5 years since 
             F
we’ve spoken last
        Am
And you can’t take back 
              F
what we never had oh
           Am
I can be manipulated 
G              F
  only so many times
               Am
Before even “I love you”
G                       F
starts to sound like a lie
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am
You have a hollowed out heart
         F
But it’s heavy in your chest
  Dm
I try so hard to fight it
C
But it’s hopeless
Am      F       Dm
hopeless You’re hopeless
 
[Chorus]
F          Am
Oh father  please father
C
I’d love to leave you alone
F
but I can’t let you go
F          Am
Oh father  please father
C                F
Put the bottle down for
              F       G
the love of a daughter
 
[Bridge]
Am
Don’t you remember
              C
I’m your baby girl?
E
How could you push me
            C
out of your world?
G
Lied to your flesh 
and your blood
         D/F#
Put your hands on the ones
that you swore you loved
Am
Don’t you remember 
I’m your baby girl?
E
How could you throw me
right out of your world?
   G
So young when the pain had begun
       D/F#
Now forever afraid of being loved
F          Am
  Oh father  please father
C
  I’d love to leave you alone
F
  but I can’t let you go
F          Am             C  F
  Oh father  please father!!!
 
[Outro]
F          Am
  Oh father  please father
C                F
  Put the bottle down for
              F        Am C F
the love of a daughter
                  F       Am C
for the love of a daughter
